(colour: 'darkturquoise')[Gibbs: Maybe we send a couple of agents to the region. You know, put some eyes on the target. Change the circumstances.]
You: Change circumstances...
//slowly dawning comprehension//
(colour: 'lime')[Tim: And you can sell that to Dan Sphepard?]
(colour: 'darkturquoise')[Gibbs: Strictly investigatively? Oh, yeah.]
You: Of course.
(colour: 'lime')[Tim: Of course.]
You: You guys have a whole little thing going on I'm not seeing, but I get it. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. I'm hip. I dig it.
(colour: 'darkturquoise')[Gibbs: Good, 'cause I need volunteers.]
You: I volunteer myself and special agent McGee for the secret fact-finding mission thingy, that's not secret, in the desert. What are you going to do?
(colour: 'darkturquoise')[Gibbs: You don't want to know.]

(colour: 'khaki')[Mcreedy: And what is that?]
You: Well I told you about the brains, I told you about the guts, I told you about the muscle, the scientist, the politician, the leader. I told you about every member of the team except myself. The part I play.
(colour: 'khaki')[Mcreedy:Which is?]
You: I'm the wild card. I'm the guy who looks at the reality in front of him and refuses to accept it. Right now I should be terrified, right? But I'm not. 'cause I just can't stop thinking about the movie True Lies, where Arnie's strapped to the chair and shot full of truth serum, then he picks his cuffs and kills everybody. You have 30 seconds to live, Mcreedy.

What he taught me about survival instinct?
//his body slowly folds on itself, falling to the ground.

Well you don’t have it now.
